2-Semester Pathway - Undergraduate Foundation Programme - Engineering and Physical Sciences - Continue to Bachelor of Science (Honours) - Construction Engineering Management

The 2-Semester Pathway - Undergraduate Foundation Programme - Engineering and Physical Sciences is a one-year programme offers successful students guaranteed progression to Loughborough University. This programme is designed to prepare international students, who have completed senior secondary education, for entry to undergraduate studies at the university.

The International Foundation Programme is set at level 3, which is equivalent to A-level standard in the United Kingdom. The two semester programme lasts one academic year [nine months]. Each semester includes, on average, 13 teaching weeks, one reading week and one assessment week. On average, students will undertake 21 (and up to 25) hours of classroom-based study per week. This programme includes English and three academic subject modules. English will be integrated into the teaching of academic subjects, as well as being taught separately if they need additional support to develop their English language. They will be assessed at regular intervals throughout the programme to ensure they are making the progress required to successfully complete the programme. Full assessment of the programme will take place in the final semester. Assessment methodologies are aligned to those that will be experienced in the University environment, and include project work, essays, and presentations.

The Bachelor of Science (Honours) - Construction Engineering Management course provides the best foundation for a career in construction project management, providing the underpinning technical and managerial knowledge and transferable skills. The students will understand each profession’s perspective on what the built environment should be and how it is best created during the design and construction phases, and how it is operated in the long term. The approach to learning helps graduates understand the other professions they will be working with, giving them the ability to integrate well into the construction sector so they can excel in multidisciplinary teams.
